Chapter 424

"I think we did it in the grocery room in the apartment we rented," Adriaan said with a smile. "Do I need to say anything else?"

"Do I look like … a stepmother?"

After solving the problem perfectly, Adriaan took Kate back to London again. He had said what he needed to say, and the rest was Spielberg's own business. He believed he would not mess it up.

The little one began to openly glare at Kate on all occasions. As long as Kate approached Adriaan, she would wave her arms to defend her territory. Well, fortunately, at least she did not express her feelings by spitting.

"Thank you, my … grandmother!" Adriaan said in his heart as he drove the car onto the street. At the same time, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. According to his father's diary, because of her identity as a Jew, many people in the family did not like his grandmother very much. Even Uncle Anderson rarely contacted his mother after he became an adult. Other than his grandfather, the closest person to his grandmother was his father. Therefore, Adriaan could now make good use of his identity.

In addition, every afternoon after work, he would take her out to the park. As for sleeping with her, that was a must. Adriaan was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

"Can't you try to sleep on your own?"

He asked gloomily one night. Before this, Kate had given him several hints, but the little one's answer was: She turned over, put her little arms and legs on him, and continued to sleep. She even dripped her saliva on his pajamas.

The white shirt she was wearing was completely soaked with sweat. It stuck to her skin and outlined her beautiful curves. Because she was not wearing a bra, her breasts were vaguely visible. It was very tempting.

"Schindler's List" was entertaining in a way that other movies about the Holocaust did not have. Entertainment might be a bit harsh, but no matter what purpose it had, it was indeed a work full of humanitarian spirit. So, it could be said that Spielberg told the history in a way that was closer to the audience, and even closer to pleasing the audience. He had a good grasp of the degree, which led to a warm response.

For Jewish groups around the world, such a movie that could fully mobilize the emotions of the audience and show the history of the Holocaust was exactly what they needed. After the movie was released, the British version of Schindler's List, the Swiss version of Schindler's List, and … the China version of Schindler's List, would show how great the media was.

He had to admit that Adriaan's acting was very good. At that moment, even he almost thought that he was really noble and great. If it weren't for the long preparation, he might have been able to act in a movie. Well, that was the first reward. The second was that he had completely grasped "Schindler's List" in his hands. No matter from which angle, it was necessary to do so.

Because it was relatively free, Adriaan would basically take Kate to other European countries every weekend. Anyway, it was close by, and the transportation was very convenient. But because of this, the little guy was very dissatisfied.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, "Schindler's List" was just a good Oscar -winning work full of artistic and humanitarian spirit. At most, they would sigh at the great work of the shooting, the rigorous spirit of the director, and the fact that it was the first black-and-white film to win the Oscar since the 1960s.

Just like what Adriaan had said to Eric at the premiere of "Ghost Horse and Elf", the first thing the audience went to the cinema was for entertainment, not to explore the philosophy of life. When they were happy, touched, and satisfied because of the movie, they would take the time to think about what the movie was trying to say in their spare time.

Although Kate's long skirt hung down and blocked the view under the chair, from the panties hanging on her right ankle and her rather blurred eyes, one could see how ecstatic she was in this state.

The next two months were relatively leisurely. Apart from the editing of "Howard Manor", Adriaan handed all the post-production work to others. Although doing everything personally could ensure the quality of the movie to a greater extent, it was also very tiring. Unless it was a very important movie, there was really no need to do so.

Of course, it was not that "Howard Manor" was not important. He had planned for this year's three movies for a long time. Even if they might be unlucky, the quality of the film had to be guaranteed. However, compared to "Pulp Fiction" which won with techniques, "Howard Manor" was a very traditional way of expression. The main focus was still on the actors' performance and the director's control. Therefore, as long as the editing was done well enough, the movie would basically have no problems.

However, if one looked at the essence of the phenomenon, one would find that some things were not so simple. After the end of World War II, after the Nazi massacre of the Jews was known to the world, the Jewish community all over the world worked hard for one thing, and that was to find ways to elevate the suffering of the Jews to the suffering of the entire human race.

From the 1950s to the present, there were countless literature and movies related to this aspect. The most famous one was "The Diary of Anne Frank," which observed that special period through the eyes of a little girl. It caused a great response and was even adapted into a movie in the 1970s. For a long time, this diary was a must for Jewish families.

Adriaan said with a smile as he leaned back on the recliner. He grabbed Kate's waist and rubbed it from time to time, then swayed his lower body along with the rhythm of the recliner's rocking back and forth.

Since Adriaan was in London, Emma would definitely be around him all the time. There was no other way. The most important thing for her every day was to play. Even if Adriaan was editing in the studio, she would watch from the side or play something to entertain herself. It seemed that doing so made her happy.

After coming out of Spielberg's office, Adriaan let out a long sigh. It was finally done. His hard work was not in vain. He knew very well that because of the incident in "Jurassic Park," Spielberg did not have a good impression of him, so he had been holding back until today.

However, even though there were many works about the Holocaust, the history of the Jews' blood and tears, and the Western world's betrayal of the Jews, there had never been a genre that could cause a huge stir in the world, until the appearance of "Schindler's List."

"It was just a joke. They didn't mean any harm."

"In a place like this …" She pressed down on Adriaan's shoulders and complained with her eyes half-closed.

Besides, although Adriaan had handed over the miscellaneous work to others, it did not mean that he would not interfere. The responsibility of supervision was still on him. If it was not approved by him, the results of the work would not be approved.

Of course, this was due to the outstanding quality of the film itself, but it was also related to the Jewish community's efforts to promote it. Adriaan believed that even if "The True Story of Argan" and "Schindler's List" were released at the same time, the Oscars would still be handed over to "Schindler's List" due to certain people's influence.

Therefore, Adriaan had put in a lot of effort to pretend to be a saint in front of Spielberg. At the same time, he completely took over the film. Some benefits could not be seen immediately, and they could not be measured with money. Besides, Spielberg had a more important role to play in the future. He had to start the challenge to the existing order of Hollywood.

For ordinary people, it was not a big problem for someone close to them to leave for a few days, but for a child who acted completely based on his feelings, it was very unpleasant. Therefore, the relationship between Emma and Kate began to worsen. Well, it was just that Emma increased the level of hostility. Although Kate would occasionally complain, he had not fallen to the point of being angry with a little kid.

Although it was troublesome for them to have sex from Monday to Friday with Emma around, it was not impossible. The spare room in the studio and the inner room of the hotel were all good places. But today was different. Today, the little guy was picked up by his aunt, so the two of them had a rare passionate time in the editing room. Of course, the door was locked. Because it did not need to be done as quickly as before, it was quite enjoyable.

The result was even better than he had imagined. Not only did he win Spielberg's respect — think about it, a person you had always thought was very utilitarian and not very likable suddenly stood in front of you one day and spared no effort to help you fulfill your greatest wish without asking for anything in return. Wouldn't you be curious about it? Would you want to find out the truth? Then, after a deeper understanding, you suddenly found that he actually had the same wish as you, and he always worked hard for it regardless of the cost. He was so noble, and your initial judgment was completely wrong. Then, how would your thoughts change? How would it affect you in the future?

Not long after, all the employees in the studio knew about it, so they laughed in private that the "daughter" and the "mother" were so at odds with each other. Could it be because of the "stepmother"?

However, Emma did not occupy all of his time. As a two-year-old child, it was impossible for him to go abroad without a guardian. Therefore, every weekend, he could only watch with hatred as Adriaan and Kate left London and came back together.

Spielberg always knew what the audience wanted to see the most, and he also knew how to move the audience. Therefore, even though "Schindler's List" was shot in black and white, and even though it had such a heavy topic, it still swept away 300 million US dollars at the box office worldwide. This was what Adriaan had meant by entertainment.

"I knew you would bring this up!" Kate gritted her teeth and suddenly sat down, starting another war.

When Kate asked while panting, she was straddling Adriaan's body. Her beautiful face was flushed, and her mouth was slightly open. Although there was a hint of ridicule in her tone, it was more of a strong desire.
